Cash in on those unwanted items
It’s that time of year again, the two most expensive times of the year – Christmas and New Year are finally behind us and they have left us feeling a little bit lighter in the pocket.
With the UK spending an eye-watering £1.7bn on unwanted gifts last Christmas and the average Brit receiving a total of £31 worth of unwanted present’s, now is the perfect time to cash in or simply de-clutter your home. So to give you a helping hand we have pulled together a few tips to ensure that your Vivastreet ad stands out.
Select a category
It is important to select the correct category as it will ensure that the right people are looking at your ad.
Posting Title
Having a catchy title is a great way to stand out from the other ads. Try to keep it short and sweet whilst highlighting exactly what you are selling.
Posting Description
Do not be vague, include as many details as possible. This is the perfect place to state the benefits or the attractive qualities of your product, and why other Vivastreet users should purchase your product (or service).
Include a photo whenever possible
Vivastreet users can upload photos for free, so ensure that you do. As the saying goes, a picture tells a thousand words.
Modes of contact
Provide as many modes of contact as is conveniently possible. Methods such as email addresses, and landline/ mobile phone numbers will make sales transactions easier. However, do make sure that the proper security and safety precautions are taken.
Additional features
Upgrade to a premium ad. There are different types of upgrades available: ‘Featured’ ads which will place your advert on top of the regular ads and will be marked ‘Featured’ for exclusive and increased visibility or ‘Highlighted’ ads which highlight your ad for 30 days with a coloured background to make your advert stand out.
